Magicians of the Gods: Graham Hancock on Humanity’s True Origins

Graham
Hancock is one of the most amazing modern explorers of both the planet’s
material mysteries
in terms of ruins and monoliths and the internal aspects of consciousness. I
learned of his participation in the Contact in the Desert
Conference at the Joshua
Tree Retreat Center just prior to going to Illuminate, so I decided to
drive through the Arizona and California desert for a rare chance to see and
meet him.

By
the time I got to Joshua Tree, Graham had already presented his main ideas
formally, making this a real treat — an informal interactive session with
the man who has unearthed so many of history’s treasures and put them into a
meaningful and cosmic context.

Graham
gave an account of his journey, beginning with his family roots in England and
his horrific experiences being conditioned in a private school, then moving on
to becoming a journalist with the ability to travel the world. He
had been an atheist until he was cracked open to a new concept of man’s history
by encountering stories about the Ark of Covenant in war-torn Ethiopia.

This
experience began his interest in “out of place technology.” Noting the
connection between the Ethiopian stories of the Ark with his growing interest
in the Ancient Egyptian texts, he dropped his atheism and became interested in
spirituality — in “levels beyond levels” of reality that pointed to so
much beyond the veil of what we take as truth.

Graham
credits Robert Bauval
with the “fundament breakthrough Orion correlation connection to Egypt,” which
is the key breakthrough in tying Egypt to its past by discovering the
connection to the stars of the constellation of Orion.

When
he began writing about ancient mysteries Graham encountered what he described
as the perils of academia; dedicated to making his case, he found that he
needed to be beyond perfect with annotations and still he was criticized and
vilified by conventional archeologists and historians.

One
intriguing aspect of Graham’s insight is that he claims that you “don’t need
ancient astronauts”; rather, the veils of consciousness can be lifted by using
the resources of the earth itself, and specifically the chemical properties of
plants like Ayahuasca to “open the doors of perception.”

Still,
the monuments are key sources of inspiration and Graham believes that there is
much to learn from the stars, citing how in terms of the ancient skies the
constellation of Leo was aligned with the gates of the Sphinx.

Besides
conventional academics, political skirmishes also inhibit many new discoveries,
but Graham urges that it will take a cooperative and new scientific method,
embracing openness, to bring many hidden aspects of reality to light.

A
key discovery will be how, after “six million years of boredom” with different
primates and versions of humans, there was a sudden leap in consciousness and
intelligence signified by the cave drawings of the ancients such as at Lascaux,
France.

While
some attribute this to extraterrestrial intervention, Graham makes the point
that a distinct type of psilocybin mushroom thought to only be in the
Americas actually existed in Europe as well, and he posits that its
effectA either contributed to or caused this enormous leap in the creative
abilities of humans, and the birth of shamanic wisdom.

Graham
became interested in the neuropsychology theory of cave art presented by David
Lewis Williams of South Africa into deeply altered states of consciousness
which suggested that it was psychotropic plants and the shamanic traditions
that unfolded from their discovery that was responsible in the dramatic and
sudden increase in intelligence among some human groups.

Graham
agrees with Williams that the chemical agents in these sacred plants allowed
humans to detach from materialism and evolve spiritually and intellectually
very rapidly.”

Graham
debunks conventional theories of Lascaux as merely paintings of animals our
ancestors wanted to hunt for food; at Lascaux, for example, the main food item
was reindeer but there is only a single painting of a reindeer in the cave, and
it is portrayed with the feet of a duck.

At
the same time, modern DNA tests have proved the existence of mushrooms in
Europe.

This
inquiry led Graham to conclude that he must experience the reality facilitated
by shamans in altered consciousness, and so he went to the Amazon.

Here
he became convinced that it is our “plant allies” that offer the opening to
experience a suddenly expanded universe and discover truths about ourselves.

He
was open about the experience in terms of having “Mother Ayahuasca” reveal to
him his own hubris and arrogance in the 90s and his own toxic emotional
tendencies. This changed him forever.

“Mother
Ayahuasca” was the most powerful example of a disembodied intelligence or
entity he found through the plant in his experiences, and She told him to write
a book and to stop his dependence on cannabis, both of which he described in
detail and which he followed thereafter, resulting in the novel Entangled.

In
the novel he deals with one truth conveyed by the plant, that the Neanderthal
peoples we currently see as primitive and crude were actually immensely
telepathic, compassionate, and peace loving, and helped the humans until we
surpassed them, and presumably wiped them out.

To
his critics about using “chemical” or unnatural means of awakening he responds,
“What could be more natural than a mushroom?” He said that he feels the need to
personally experience everything he studies because otherwise it has the
credibility of “celibate monks arguing about sex.”

Graham
is passionate about the need for individuals to resist the efforts of the state
to “control our consciousness” and believes this is an inalienable right of
each human. He admits that this is “all British shit” and lauds the American
people for reversing the trend electorally in states like Colorado and Oregon.

He
summarized that “Mother Ayahuasca kicked my ass” in the state of pure
consciousness and he was exposed to the multi-dimensional nature of
reality. Graham acknowledges the risks involved but compares them to
mountain climbing or sky-diving.

He
believes that Ayahuasca brings contact with disembodied intelligences and that
plants are like antennae on the earth, receiving and transmitting a multitude
of frequencies and energy.

Ayahuasca
neutralizes inhibitors in the gut to open what Huxley called “The Doors of
Perception” and open the user to the “intelligence in vine.”

Scientists
believe that the force is in the leaves of the Chacruna plant (p. viridis,
containing the DMT element of the brew); but Graham believes the intelligence
is in the vine and its connection to the soil and the earth, and that the vine
harvests the leaves to affect the intelligence of beings, now humans, helping
them to evolve.

He
compares Mother Ayahuasca to the Goddess Isis in Egypt and described an
experience where he was made to “weigh his soul” in the fashion of the Judgment
Hall of Osiris in Egyptian lore. It was here that he confronted his own
toxicity as a human and worked on his arrogance.

Graham
cautions that in this state, nonphysical entities can take advantage and enter
humans, which is why it is imperative to take the substance under the direction
of an experienced guide or shaman. One can come under attack and be the victim
of “psychic vampirism” by Trickster entities but the benefits are to forever
broaden our concept of reality.

Finally
Graham described his current fascination with the fact that 30
leading scientists attribute the end of the Ice Age 12,800 years ago to a
cataclysmic comet impact, and his theory is that newly found ruins of advanced
civilizations represent the efforts to preserve the knowledge and wisdom of a
super civilization that perished at that time.

Graham
says that the key lesson of the plant and many of his experiences is to silence
the mind and “choose love, not fear.”

I
felt privileged to be able to witness this remarkable individual for even this
short period of time on a personal level, and I was struck by his humility and
grasp of the widely disparate subject areas he presented and his unique ability
to connect the dots. I also felt a kinship in terms of his many struggles to be
accepted, his sense of being an outsider from a young age, his being
an only child (as am I), and his discovery of his gift for the written
word and exploration.

I
almost blew off the event because of the ten hours of driving that it entailed
but this was probably the most powerful lesson of all, that when life affords
you a singular opportunity it is incumbent to accept — because our
precious and privileged existence on this planet is truly a means of teaching
and growth.
